Our Story
Scent with Intention. A Business Built on Meaning.
You want your home to feel warm, calm, and welcoming—not just look the part.
You want gifts that feel personal.
You want to slow down, even for a moment.
We built Woven Co. Candles for exactly that.
"It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."
-William L. Watkinson
Our Beginning
We’re Andrea and Austin—partners in life, business, and a whole lot of wax.
We started Woven Co. in Franklin, Indiana with one simple idea: that scent could do more than smell nice. It could ground us, bring us together, and make a space feel like home.
With backgrounds in creativity, entrepreneurship, and a deep love for intentional living, we poured our first candles in small batches, tested every fragrance by hand, and invited friends and family to experience the process with us. From that spark, Woven Co. grew.
Today, we run our storefront with our three daughters nearby, and every candle is still poured with purpose—just like the very first one.
“Our favorite scent is the one that reminds you of home.”
– Andrea & Austin
What Makes Us Different
We’re not just another candle company. We’re here to help you create.
Key Differentiators:
- We use a clean-burning, food-grade Paraflex blend wax—never poor performing, never synthetic blends.
- All of our candles are phthalate-free, dye-free, and made with cotton wicks (wood wicks in select dough bowls).
- Our fragrances are the highest quality, certified clean burning and safe for your household.
- Our scent bar lets you craft more than just candles: soft soaps, body lotions, linen sprays, and reed diffusers—all custom blended by you.
- Our in-store and mobile experiences are about more than the product—they’re about making memories.
Why We Do This
Because tiny details matter.
We believe in the power of small, beautiful things—lighting a candle at the end of a long day, choosing the perfect fragrance for a gift, or gathering friends around a table to create something together.
When you support Woven Co., you’re supporting a dream, a family, and a space where others can slow down, feel seen, and leave with something truly meaningful.
What about our name?
Our name, Woven Co., represents our belief that every person is woven together in their mother's womb. Every person has value and a purpose.
Our name is tied to our mission and the ways we express it.
We are proud to be a give-back-brand. We give 5% of every purchase to top-rated non-government organizations (NGO's) that serve women through our Woven Co. Women's Initiative. These NGO's tackle issues such as sexual exploitation and trafficking, economic opportunities and practical support for new mothers.
We’d love to pour something special for you.
